The best way to get this through is to keep the pressure on! Email, fax, call, tweet, whatever it takes, but keep it going -NONSTOP!

I know i'm getting off topic here DesperateInRI,but if this doesn't go thru this time my little girls heart will be broken.I promised her a sweet 16 Birthday party,and when a father promises that and does not come thru,it will never be forgotten.I have not had a good night sleep in months.I'm sure i am not the only one out there with a story like this.But what is wrong with this picture.Don't they have hearts and feelings.They must have families too.Please let this bill pass.I still have time to pray,her birthday is March 29th.

Its now or never, this is the best shot we have, so we have to stay positive, and act accordingly, while the repubs have the majority they havent been able to pass anything yet....we need to contact ways and means daily
also, while I dont know specifically why UFF closed, I can guess, we owe them a debt of gratitude for maintaining it for so long and putting up with us.
also, will G or pdsnickels know we are here so they can contact us with info, rather than rumors....

Re: AMERICAN 99ERS UNION Contact Ways and Means Committee TODAY!
Wow, that's the exact same day that my daughter's birthday is. She is older than your daughter and is in college on a full scholarship but, I really wish I could be able to buy her a present or give her some money. I will be a 99er next week and I didn't even have any money to give her anything this past Christmas for the first time ever.trotter39 wrote:I know i'm getting off topic here DesperateInRI,but if this doesn't go thru this time my little girls heart will be broken.I promised her a sweet 16 Birthday party,and when a father promises that and does not come thru,it will never be forgotten.I have not had a good night sleep in months.I'm sure i am not the only one out there with a story like this.But what is wrong with this picture.Don't they have hearts and feelings.They must have families too.Please let this bill pass.I still have time to pray,her birthday is March 29th.

please try to contact boehner via fax, email or call along with cantor, they will either be our biggest obstacles, they need to hear your stories...for months we contacted the dems, they now know about us,,,we need to contact the repubs...contact boehner and cantor along with your state rep especially if they are republican..please contact them today, tommorrow and until this bill moves forward....ask them to co sponsor the bill for the longest term unemployed, and all unemployed (everyone that is unemployed will benefit from this) everyone that is unemployed needs this safety net,, we all need to be on the same page...in our advocacy...like it has been said above...flood them with communication

Re: AMERICAN 99ERS UNION Contact Ways and Means Committee TODAY!
there are now 60 representatives co sponsoring this bill, the best we can do is to get that number of co sponsors up...but we need your help, since I last posted this, 2 reps from MA have joined but that is not enough, we need all of them...if you do not see your rep on this listing contact them and tell them they need to stand up for the unemployed now..especially if they are republicans...we need to see if they are going to support this bill now, no more rhetoric "yes i support it", actions speak louder than words, and we want action from them..tell them to stop hiding in the bathroom until the vote comes to the floor and man up now...their constituents are watching... here is the list of 60. ps yes we want repubs, desparately, and we will advocate for them, but even if we just get dems, we will be happy...something is better than nothing....this is the last chance for the unemployed to get a safety net. all unemployed..not just the 99ers

Anyone from Ct. - contact Congresswoman DeLauro and tell her to shake her leg and sign on as a co-sponsor - I have been e-mailing, faxing and calling every day, but her name is still missing from the list. Surprising because she stated that she stands behind the unemployed.

Review the list above copy and paste it into your correspondence to your representative, then ask them why their name isnt there...

Re: AMERICAN 99ERS UNION Contact Ways and Means Committee TODAY!
Floridian's please feel free to contact Rep. Richard Nugent(R-dist.5) and urge him to support this bill. He is new to the house and the area he is from is has one of the highest unemployment % in the state. If your not from his district and would like to write and urge his support,you can use zip code 34428 or 34429. Anyone from any state wishing to write him can make up an address and use Crystal River Florida as your city and either of the two zip codes I provided. Thanks.

Re: AMERICAN 99ERS UNION Contact Ways and Means Committee TODAY!
The letter some have been asking about to send to their Reps is now posted at the American 99ers Union site.
I recommend sending your Rep. the A99U letter one day then sending your own personal letter with your "99er story" another day. But always put your signature as "MEMBER, American 99ers Union" - this shows them we are getting organized and this is one reason why Rep. Barbara Lee asked us to work with her.
